Chapter 19 

Antonio’s face darkened as he pulled me to him all of a sudden.

I was forced to look into his eyes. 

Antonio was surprised to see that there was nothing but coldness in my eyes. 

I got rid of his hands, not feeling like explaining what had actually happened. Cecilia smashed my reputation by wronging. me, yet I didn’t care. 

In the end, I said word by word, peacefully, “Antonio, I’m gonna say this for one last time. I’ve already broken up with you.

“Thus, please stay assured. I won’t get married to you. And I don’t have any fantasy on you, either.. 

“If we run into each other in the future, ignore me as if we had never known each other before. You don’t have to greet me.” 

I didn’t yell or scold, nor did I bother him with my tears. 

He watched as I walked to the bar and ordered three lattes with sugar for takeaway.

Finally, Antonio was panicking. 

He followed me out of the coffee shop. 

“Grace, I’m your first love.” 

I turned around at him and asked, “So?” 

“You confessed to me back then. You told me that you never liked anyone that much before… 

“Remember what we said at the commencement? We promised to stay together no matter what happened in the future.” 

“So…” 

He even stammered, “So you can’t break up with me simply because you’re tired of our relationship. It happens, but that’s no excuse for breaking up with me. It’s not fair.” 

He made me laugh. “That’s the kind of promise any new couple would make. Did you take that seriously?” 

I still remembered what I had heard the next day after I accepted Antonio’s proposal. 

I stood at the door of his office, listening as he comforted Cecilia, who pretended to congratulate him on his engagement. 

“What I have for Grace is far from love. 

“She’s like a dog, following me all the time. I have to give her something so that she can stay there peacefully.” 

Antonio said that he didn’t love me. 

Yet when I broke the promise, he seemed to be in extreme pain. 

I left him in the coffee shop, dumbfounded. 

I then ordered a taxi. 

The moment I opened the door, I heard Antonio’s cold voice. 

“Grace, you know me well. If you leave now, we’re indeed done…” 

I didn’t have the patience to hear him out. Thus, I got into the taxi without even turning around. 

Another month had passed. 

I was occupied organizing my new place and at the same time. finding a new job. 

It was not easy.

Yet luckily, I got my dream place and my dream job. 

As for Antonio, I got his news from our mutual friends from time to time. 

They told me that Antonio seemed busier and busier. He didn’t have time for socializing. 

He didn’t delete the post that said we were about to get married. 

Yet I didn’t mind that. 

I didn’t wanna waste my time or energy on someone in the past. 

It was Friday evening. 

I clocked off during the rush hour. Yet luckily, I managed to arrive on time at the banquet my college colleague held for her 100–day–old daughter. 

It was held in a bright banquet hall. 

I gave my colleague a baby overall as a present. 

During the banquet, a few friends of mine came over to chat with me.

Finally came Alonso Vincent.
